Engine:
All of the engine mods have been well thought out and done to improve the weak points in the OEM hardware and to make for a solid, reliable, monster of a daily driver. I can write a paper on how much research i have done to eliminate flaws, safely make the power attained and ensure the most reliable 400hp daily driver one can wish for. This is a turn key driver, since the car has been tuned, i have popped the hood to change and check my oil and wipe down the powdercoated pieces in the engine compartment. This isn't one of those modded cars that needs to be on jack stands every weekend.
It put down 387awhp and 359tq @ 20psi conservative tune.
Ej257 2.5l boxer
-Perrin rotated turbo kit:http://www.perrinperformance.com/pro...gory=5&model=2
-Garrett gt3076r .82 (rotated, along with a larger hotside reduces backpressure in the manifold and lowers EGTs which makes the motor less prone to knock and thus cracking ringlands. Full boost in 2nd gear is @ 4200)
-Precision 46mm v-band wastegate rerouted into the downpipe
-Tial Q-r recirculating BOV
-Custom inlet (with BOV recirc, 1/8'' npt bung and a -8 a/n fitting for the pcv) and intercooler piping (All powder coated gloss black)
-TXS fmic
-TGV fully ported and delete then media blasted and internally polished

-Greddy evo2 catback with kartboy hangers
-Walbro255 intank fuel pump
-NGK LFR7AIX one step colder iridium spark plugs- Installed about 200 miles ago. At this point i decided to do a compression test just because i was in there. 145 across the board(with photo documentation to prove it)Suspension & Wheels:
-RCE yellow v2 springs
-Whiteline race alk

The Bad (its a car, of coarse its not perfect)
-Previous owner kissed a few parking blocks, so the front bumper has some scrapes on the spliters and the center ( the lip covers some of it, doesn't look bad)
-Small ding on drivers side fender and roof. Both are very small with no paint imperfection. Paintless dent removal quoted me 150 for both.
-Few small scratches, nothing major.
-Drivers side floor mat has seen better days, but still looks good.

The Good
Besides everything listed already...
-Its fast, awesome, amazing in the snow and reliable as your grandmother's Hundai. This car has never left me stranded or disappointed, starts up and idles like stock.

The turbine housing is cast, not stainless steel (the only turbine housings which are stainless steel are the tial v-band housings). So like any factory or aftermarket turbo (non coated) turbine housings, exhaust manifolds alike, they get surface rust. Not anything to be concerned of.
